Chapter 314
Felix came to a halt in front of Pearl and asked with a serious tone, “You’re Pearl. Ah, no, you’re Pearlbelle, aren’t you?”
“Yeah.”
Blake, who had been silently observing, nodded, still somewhat bewildered.
“No way! You actually came all the way here.” Pearl burst into laughter. Felix was indeed an esports enthusiast, coming and going like a shadow.
“You’re really good at the game. Can I invite you to join my club? We’ll give you the best treatment.” Felix’s eyes shone with eagerness.
Pearl suddenly felt that Felix not only looked young but also had a straightforward
personality. However, she shook her head and declined his offer. “I’m sorry, but I’m not really interested in that. I’m just playing the game for fun.”
‘Alright then. Can you at least join us for a match with the other team in two days?” Felix was surprised that she wasn’t interested after defeating the leaderboard champion.
After a moment of consideration, Pearl turned him down again. “I’m sorry, but I really don’t want to join the match.” Suddenly, she regretted fighting against Felix one-on-one because she felt trapped in Felix’s insistence.
“But…” Felix struggled to find the right words and looked on the verge of tears due to his
anxiety.
“Okay, you have my word.” Pearl felt a pang of guilt when she saw how pitiful Felix looked. He seemed to want to invite her to join his team but didn’t know how to express it, and his eyes welled up in the end.
In the end, she agreed because he was her cousin, and she couldn’t help but think that he didn’t seem very smart…
“Great. I’ll pick you up at home then.” Felix became instantly excited and checked his phone, realizing he had other commitments. “I have to go now since I have something else to do today. I need to go back to train the new kids.”
After that, he left decisively.
Blake was in a daze the whole time Felix was here, even though Felix hadn’t said a word to him. “It’s unbelievable. He’s going home just for you. If Grandfather finds out, he’ll have a lot of respect for you.”
Pearl twitched her l*ps. “Please don’t exaggerate.’
“No, it’s true. He only comes home briefly during the New Year these years, and I didn’t expect him to break his own rule for you.”
Pearl didn’t pay much attention to that-her focus was on the upcoming match. She needed to practice with her new character to avoid embarrassing herself.
After chatting with Blake for a bit, Pearl left the ward. She decided not to ask Ezra for help, especially after their recent disagreement when she tried to request herbs to treat Blake.
She contemplated going to the black market to acquire the herbs she needed. However, as she
reached the hospital’s entrance, she spotted Richard’s car by the road. At the same time, he gazed at her with a passionate expression.
“What are you doing here?”
